Quilters Table with storage

2. Cut the two sheets of plywood down to 6 ft (cut 2 ft off the long side). The sheets will now measure 4ft x 6 ft). Paint one side of each sheet to match/coordinate the finish of your EXPEDIT pieces. In my case, I just painted them white.

3. Mount 4 of the casters in the four corners (within 6″ of the edge of the long side so that they will not interfere with the bookcases), and one in the center. The casters should be mounted on the side of the plywood that is NOT painted.

4. Position the bookcases parallel to each other but with 13 1/4″ of space in between them. Position the plywood (with the casters) on top of the two bookcases. You should now have a 6″ overhang on the long ends, and a 2″ overhang on the short ends. Secure the the plywood and the bookcases together with L-brackets (2 on each of the short ends and 1 in the middle of the long side).

Because of this manual, I was able to make it almost identical to yours!!! My girlfriend wanted to have one for a while so I did it while she was at work Christmas week and surprised her when she got home! Thank you!!!!

Mine is a 4 x 8 foot door, that was unfinished, and we varnished it and put trim around the end and layed it on top of six refinished kitchen cabinets that we got for dirt cheap, viola, extra large cutting area with tons of storage underneath.
